Hoorray !!! Liberalism finds a foothold in Afghanistan

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/womens-life/11453879/Afghan-men-wear-burqas-to-campaign-for-womens-rights.html


A group of Afghan men marched through the capital Kabul in burqas to campaign for women's rights.
The men marched on Thursday dressed head-to-toe in bright blue burqas, clothing that covers with female body and has mesh over the face.
The idea was to draw attention to women's rights by wearing the clothing that has, for many people, come to symbolise the suppression of women.
